me, with new haircut!

I’ve actually been planning to cut bangs again for a while. I finally found my embroidery scissors, so I did it this afternoon. I think it looks cute! :)

Another really good day today... though I spent the entire day thinking it was Saturday when it was really Friday. My roommate has Fridays and Saturdays off, and he had promised me awhile ago that once I cleaned out the storage room and gotten all my recyclables gathered up, he'd help me take them back to the depot. When it was all said and done, I came away with almost $20, although that was bolstered by the 10 glass milk bottles I returned, which had a $1 deposit each on them.

I had my regular Friday night raid tonight, and came away with a new wand, and enough emblems of heroism that I now had enough to pick up a new pair of shoes. I only have 2 blue items left now! We actually started with the death knight wing, and cleared that, and then went on to clear the spider and plague quarters as well. We already have the construct quarter on farm status, so that will be cleared easily on Monday, and then we can get some tries in on Sapphiron. My 10-man raid last night did a few tries on Sapph as well... that fight is going to be a bitch. But it will be fun to learn!

And now I'm off to bed. Tomorrow morning, I will need to get all my clean laundry put away (it's done, but sitting in a huge pile on my floor), and then I have a date later in the day. I'm looking forward to an interesting weekend!

Oh no.... more snow!

I woke up this morning and my cat was at the window, wanting to be let in. This immediately drew my attention to the fact that it is snowing, AGAIN. I gotta say... personally I've had enough of the stuff! Plus there's the fact that I'm going out today, and I don't really own any real winter boots.

At least the falling flakes will make good camera fodder.

So the plan that my date and I have for today is to meet up at one of the skytrain stations, and then we're going to have lunch at a restaurant down on Main St. that he's heard a lot of good things about, and it's gotten really good reviews on DineHere.ca, and then depending on how things go, I think we may end up wandering around on Main St., which has lots of funky shops and stuff. I had had the idea in my head to stop at my favorite yarn shop Three Bags Full, but they're closed right now for the Christmas break, I think, and it's next weekend that is their belated Boxing Day Sale. So instead I will head down there next weekend, as I have a $75 gift certificate (that I've been hoarding from Christmas 2006 - and yes it's still good, I checked!) and want to get the yarn and needles to make this adorable Star-crossed Slouchy Beret.

Alrighty, time to clean the litterbox and then hit the shower.

It was snowing when I got up this morning, and it was snowing when I got home from my date. I am SOOOOO sick of snow!

I took this picture while I was waiting for my bus on the way out this morning, and I'm rather pleased with the way it turned out. Ok, it's touched up a bit in photoshop, but I still like it.

My date went... ok, I guess. I met him at Main St. Skytrain, we bussed up to the restaurant he'd suggested but they don't do lunch, so we ended up at a pub called The Reef, which specializes in jerked meat. I had a jerked pork eggs benedict, which was yummy but I wasn't expecting the jerked meat to taste a little bit sweet, so that was kind of odd.

Afterwards we went to a jewish deli where he bought bagels and cream cheese, then we walked up to my favorite yarn store but they're closed for the holidays. After that, we hung out at his place for a while. I haven't decided yet whether or not I want there to be a 2nd date.

I've now spent a small fortune on making my glacial set for my priest, so that I'm ready for my guild's raid on Sapphiron on Monday. And I haven't even gemmed or enchanted it yet. Oy.
